This Friday and Saturday only, my new cartoon, “Conduct of Life” will premiere as part of “Show Me the Good Parts,” an evening of performance devoted to the kind of books that are made out of paper and have covers. The evening is curated by Tom Cassidy. It is at Patrick’s Cabaret on Friday and Saturday May 18 and 19 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available from me or at the door.
My cartoon, “Conduct of Life,” is a disaster movie odyssey through the lugubrious wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

My video for this month’s MNKino. We used to live in trees. Now we live in houses, or so we think. I made this with Linocut prints.
